you can format posts however you wish

using whatever method you wish

using whatever CSS styling

you #wish to apply

or none at all.

it doesn't really matter, does it?

but maybe let's not start shitting on well-intentioned projects and the people using them in earnest.

i've got thick skin so like i don't particularly care whether people think something i made is a bit shit (i scripted it dorlin i know just how shite it is LOL).

but like... is disparaging people for trying out different styles of posting - and by styles i mean both literal styles{}; and different methods of composing and approaching posts - really the sort of thing we want to be doing on cohost? is "shitting on projects people make" an activity we're gonna normalise on here?

like i'm not gonna stop workin on my daft lil projects coz some cohosties don't like something i made, but other people would be discouraged by that.

some people seem to have a rulebook for cohost that the rest of us aren't privy to: CSS crime, but some crimes are too far. post, but post how we like and expect from you. create, but only create what we want to see.

i truly just don't think it matters much. like it ain't that deep. whys this a discourse that's happening. do you hear yourselves x

in reply to @slimelia's post:

i've seen some discourse posts. i think some people mis-understood the cheet stuff as like:
"Hey short posts don't work well on cohost, cheet fixes that so short posts work"

so other people went:
"What?? short posts do work on cohost! other people are mistaken! i dont want to use cheets"

and now the response is
"Yo chill, cheets are a fun thing you can do, not tryna pressure anyone to post in any specific way"

ahhhh
yeah that seems like a silly thing to argue about
i didn’t even realize cheets were A Thing, i just thought they were a way of styling posts some people were having fun with, and i was like “oh that’s cool” and promptly did not put any more thought into it lol

i woke up and checked cohost too late to see the ground floor of the discourse happening. it's all profoundly silly imo. your cheets are neat, and all chosts are... goat? goast? whatever. literally just Post How You Like is literally just kind of the best ethos to go by i think and i think cheets embody that as Another Way To Post, If You Like,.

unfortunately i think at least a good half of all cohost discourse that gets it big in this particular corner of site is about The Nature of Posting, by way of Everyone's Posted About The Cohost Meta At Least Once. it's just kind of The Eternal Topic. it's a choster's world and we're all living in it
